Most indie rock bands with a serious Beach Boys jones usually get the band's sunny confection element, but fail when it comes to nailing the unique character of the Wilson harmonies. Not the Besnard Lakes, whose worn-on-the-sleeve Wilson adoration is backed up by a quartet of vocalists who can sing and harmonize very well and very high (no small accomplishment). On THE BESNARD LAKES ARE THE DARK HORSE, the Montreal band blends their love with a disjointed riffs-and-soundscape approach that starts with an epic pretense and succeeds in execution. The results are a thrill, simultaneously familiar and wholly new.

No Depression (p.92) - "Most devastating of all is, appropriately, 'Devastation', a hyper-heavy slab of beautifully epic post-prog."

| | Lcd Soundsystem Sound Of Silver CD (2007)
Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse music CDs
$9.45
As wryly noted on LCD Soundsystem's debut 2002 single, "Losing My Edge," in the underground music arms race, aging hipsters are losing ground against young upstarts who are (perhaps) unaware of their own influences. And if influences are the stuff with which post-millennial musicians are made, Murphy has trumped us all. Touching on reference points ranging from disco, krautrock, Bowie, house, and post-punk, to singer-songwriter types, SOUND OF SILVER is a veritable catalog of left-field cool. Leading off with the slow-boil, hypnotic opener, "Get Innocuous"--which sounds a bit like a reprise of "Losing My Edge" crossed with Kraftwerk's "The Robots"--the album moves from dance-floor stormers to plaintive piano numbers without batting an eye. On "North American Scum," Murphy lampoons the often mistaken idea that LCD Soundsystem is a U.K. act; his nasal vocal echoing Jonathan Richman as he declares "for those of you who think we're from England--we're not." As humorously self-effacing as he ...

If modern day indie music appears to consist of an endless queue of groups that are either bland emo retreads or glitzy disco punkers, it is then that much more refreshing to encounter a band like Battles.

With thousands of Christmas discs in the bins, you've probably thought you've heard it all -- but Jana, a member of the Lumbee tribe who is Native America's premiere diva and a rising independent music star, has created a fascinating disc that is all at once very familiar and brilliantly exotic. A little background: the self-proclaimed "Urban Indian" won a Nammy for Best Pop Artist (2001), a shared Grammy (with Crystal Lewis) for "Kiss and Tell," which she co-wrote with the Christian artist, and distinction ...
